Messerschmitt Me 262 Development & Politics by Dan Sharp There are many myths surrounding the development of the Messerschmitt Me 262 jet fighter. Its unparalleled performance is beyond doubt; easily able to outpace its opponents and possessing the firepower to shred them in seconds. Yet...

Hello, just found this link; I thought I would share its contents with you all: https://alternathistory.com/yurij-pasholok-orudie-pobolshe-na-tom-zhe-shassi/ And these were hiding in the comments, one is defintely the Schmalturm, the others, not sure :

So, after my mom's fifth session of chemotherapy, things are...slightly but decisevly better, not only I got back to study for my last three exams but time to read what I like about : horror podcasts, alternate history and more. So, I browsed the net and I got inspiration from this article ...

Looking for any info on the Caproni Type B "torpedo boat" (ground effect vehicle)

The M3 Halftrack and the Sdkfz 251 are the most well known ones, but did the other major powers have APCs? What about WW1?

Similar to the post-BoB RAF: what might've Luftwafe/RLM do after Autumn of 1940 in order to improve their standing, both in short-term (next 12 months) and long-term (a few next years). I've also included 'Axis' term here - mostly European Axis countries' air forces/services - since they can be...

Hi this is my first post - I'm intersting in German technology, specially in armour. Some times ago I saw this pictu were any photos of this vehicle? or any informations?

Question - Had the USN known the true characteristics of the IJN Yamato Class at the onset of war, what, if anything, would have changed with regards to USN battleship design and production? Would have carrier production suffered and the remaining Iowa Class been completed? Would have the...

Does anyone know Bohler 47mm L70? In WW2,Bohler 47mm L32 M1935 was famous,but according to some articles,47mm L32 couldn't be used well against tanks in the war,so Bohler designed L55,even...L70 I failed to find its data.

I have quite a bit of information on this design but a couple sources imply that early on there was consideration of using at least one twin turret for the 135mm guns. Can anyone verify if this was true and, if so, what was the intended arrangement of the guns? Thanks, Dave G

When the Germans realised they needed self-propelled artillery (as opposed to Assault guns) to keep up with the Panzers, their initial efforts involved conversions of various captured vehicles to carry artillery along with the creation of three interim conversions based on tanks already in...

In a topic in the "early projects" section, I've seen a reference to a R-2000 Italian turboprop of WW2 vintage. That mention arouse in me a question: why Italy was the first to actively research some kind of jet engine but at the same time the only great power apparently not having some research...

How could you get Turkey and/or Iran/Persia as a major industrial military power for World War 2? I am picturing one or both as the main antagonists in the 1930's or 1940's with a large, powerful and modern military. Could countries like Italy, France, Poland, Britain and America invest in...

Ah okay, that makes more sense. It seems the original description was incorrect. Justo, do you know where I can find more information regarding Japanese centrifugal-type jet engines? I’m curious how they compare to the axial series. and thanks for the amazing images and information, as always
